ChickenAlfredo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I hope it's not the beginning of the end of Nexus being the number 1 spot for mods, but it seems to be going that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted92948618User Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) //HERP DERP SNIPPED// 74 isn't old enough to be a WW2 Vet BTW, a 74 years old person would've been born in 1947, 2 years after WW2 ended. That's probably why people don't want to talk to you on voice in Discord, because nothing you say is Fact-Based. Born in '46, I'll be 75 in a couple months. Vietnam was the war of my generation. Thanks for the nice words, but the point remains. Mod Authors are being victimized by Nexus Mods. Those that stand up to Robin are being abused by ill informed users.

Deleted31005User Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) "The characterization of the anger of authors being simply about their inability to delete their mods is misleading. A good number of authors are angry because the changes to the ToS and Software which allowed Nexus Mods to archive their Intellectual Property were done in secret. Authors were not informed of the changes until they were a fait accompli. "Robin Scott, the owner of Nexus Mods, claims that he has a contract with mod authors via his ToS, and his business can no longer tolerate authors deleting their content. What Robin does not tell you is that prior to this change, the way mod authors exited their contract with Nexus was by deleting their content. With this change, Robin has trapped mod authors content on his site and effectively taken ownership of the mod authors Intellectual Property. He has offered no easy route out of the contract\ and no course for remediation other than going, hat in hand, to Robin and pleading for his blessing".I'm also a mod user, and a mod author, I do not hate users, in fact both my biggest and most popular mods are only there because of users giving me great feedback, sure most of it were silly ideas, but some ideas were great and I consider my big mods to be a collaboration of many minds and not just my own.This went even to the point where a few users offered to help me with issues I was having, and if they could prove they had modding skills I would even let them, this was especially true when it came to scripting which I can't do at all and have no intention of learning, yet users helped me to further my mods to perfection. I might have been the driving force, but they were my fuel, and I will always keep my mods on display somewhere, as long as I feel its in good hands and as long as the "option" for me to have the last say over my mod files is guaranteed, I see this as my basic author right since its my intellectual property.I will never use this option to remove my files as long as my rights over my own creations are respected, they can even be used in mod lists, but Nexus went total tyrant from just one day to the next, taking away this option from me to have the last say over my mod, and I feel its not a safe place to have my mods on display here anymore, if Nexus can do this, I can only wander what they might do in the future. Of all the possible and humane options they could have given us, they went with the one I consider to be the equivalent of a hostage situation, with a gun to my head threatening me to give all my files, or lose every single mod page, every single endorsement I ever gotten, and lose everything I did on this website for the last 10 years. That to me is plain wrong, I'm still hoping Nexus will stop this behavior and let us choose to delete only a few files during this "grace period" without removing entire mod pages so we can put in different files and refer to other websites where the full mods can be found.That way we still retain our current mod pages with all endorsements/links/history/etc intact, or perhaps other options that offer a "middle ground", as long as it doesnt involve totally nuking everything simply because we don't want a few files to remain on Nexus. But so far it all seems to fall on deaf ears. Edited July 13, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's NOT ABOUT MONEY!. Of all the content I've read on this topic (which is considerable), this is the most face-palmingly naive statement I've read thus far. But not only that, you implicitly claim to know the motivations of Nexus Mods, which you don't. There's a term which aptly describes your statements in this thread: Useful Idiot. *** "The corporation, like the psychopathic personality it resembles, is programmed to exploit others for profit." - Joel Bakan, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power If axonis hadn't cut out the context for that statement you might have noticed that it wasn't about Nexus. "Second, screw you and your "are you getting paid" bulls***. It's NOT ABOUT MONEY!" It was a statement about my own motivations in response to the continuing pathetic accusations that anyone who disagrees must be getting paid to do so. An accusation so absurd that it is often used by Flat Earthers, probably the stupidest people on the planet. For the record, when I'm referring to the Nexus' motivations, I say "It's not JUST about the money". Because they actually told us their motivations ages ago.

HadToRegister Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I hope it's not the beginning of the end of Nexus being the number 1 spot for mods, but it seems to be going that way. Well, if a MOD HOSTING site, loses all their Modders and Mods, then they have no content. They seem to have forgotten that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
